土壤的生态系统服务和自然资本往往没有得到承认，一般也没有得到很好的理解。本文通过借鉴对土壤形成、功能和分类系统的科学理解，并基于当前对生态系统服务的思考，建立一个对土壤自然资本和生态系统服务进行分类和量化的框架，来解决这一问题。该框架由五个主要的相互关联的组成部分组成：（1）土壤自然资本，其特征是土壤科学家熟知的标准土壤特性;（2）土壤自然资本形成、维持和退化背后的过程;（3）土壤过程的驱动因素（人为和自然）;（4）提供、调节和文化生态系统服务;（5）土壤生态系统服务满足的人类需求。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The ecosystem services and natural capital of soils are often not recognised and generally not well understood. This paper addresses this issue by drawing on scientific understanding of soil formation, functioning and classification systems and building on current thinking on ecosystem services to develop a framework to classify and quantify soil natural capital and ecosystem services. The framework consists of five main interconnected components: (1) soil natural capital, characterised by standard soil properties well known to soil scientists; (2) the processes behind soil natural capital formation, maintenance and degradation; (3) drivers (anthropogenic and natural) of soil processes; (4) provisioning, regulating and cultural ecosystem services; and (5) human needs fulfilled by soil ecosystem services.
